Learning Outcomes

This curricular unit continues the study of the main electronic devices (diodes, transistors and operational amplifier) and their most relevant applications, namely in signal amplification, and introduces the internal structure of the operational amplifier and it utilization in the realization of several of the functions required in most of the projects in the analog electronic domain.



Within the continuation of the study of the basic electronic devices and their most relevant applications, started in the discipline of Electrónica I, it is expected after this discipline that the students will able to analyse linear singlestage, multistage and differential amplifier circuits implemented with transistors and typical circuits representing the internal constitution of the OpAmp, as well acquire competences in the study and analysis of amplifier circuits in frequency domain and understand the topologies of feedback amplifiers.
It is also expected after this discipline that the students will able to study, analyse and synthesize linear amplifier circuits, differential amplifiers, current to voltage and voltage to current converts, integrators and differentatiors, voltage regulators, mostly implemented with operational amplifiers (OpAmp), as well active filters and nonlinear circuits.
